Reply to Galactic Civilizations III 1.03 Update Now Available in GalCiv III News GalCiv3 Forums

Since this beta came out/installed any ship with unused movement points in the turn no longer preempts the end turn. The unspent movement points are thus lost. As well I've noticed that the setting for abundant habitable planets, extreme as well, does not produce maps with abundant planets. It seems to have no affect. I've tried starting many games and exploring to find very few habitable planets. Lastly it seems kinetic weapons have improved, not

I suggest not having them so far in. The wings just move through the body, not looking right. Try various settings, but keep the wing attached at its connecting point and do not move whichever axis deeper into the body. Not sure what you have your oscillate set to,

[quote who="NAPLEX1" reply="1264" id="3562519"] Hey all, just picked up the game last week and got hooked on it. Been reading this thread and have really been impressed with the things everyone has been able to come up with. I especially found some of the organic ships inspiring and so I came up with this ship for my new game. It is my colonizer ship, used Thalan parts for it with the concept that all the pods in the abdomen would be eggs for colonization. Let me

Huh. I just rechecked and now for some reason they're all over the limit when before they were not. I'm using version 1.02 and have opt in patches turned off. Strange. So I guess nevermind : )

Ships not appearing in shipyard in GalCiv III Support GalCiv3 Forums

I figured I'd ask here before submitting a ticket. I loaded my save game and found none of my ships besides cargo and two medium hold designs available in the shipyard. The missing ships are still in the designer and most do not require resources. Is there a new ship limit of some kind? Anyone else experience this?

Reply to Easy way to change hull class? in GalCiv III Modding GalCiv3 Forums

[quote who="Larsenex" reply="1" id="3560234"] Birthday, There is no current way to change from one size class to another. For example you cannot change from Tiny to Small. You cannot change from Cargo to 'large'. I do believe that Cargo will scale with current technology though I keep thinking every time I went up in hull size the Cargo also went up. But back to your point. As far as I know you cannot change 'hul

Easy way to change hull class? in GalCiv III Modding GalCiv3 Forums

Some how some of my ship designs for small hulls were turned into cargo hulls. Is there a way I can change this? I assume its in a doc file I'd have to edit using notepad. I know very little about modding and so forth. Help?

Pragmatic V: Watchful no ships? in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

So I finally got Watchful after the launch. I did not see any Escort fighters in battles taking place within my zoc. I assume zoc are cultural borders? If not what is the zoc? And if zoc is cultural borders, anyone else having fighters escort ships? Or not?

Reply to Where does this disapproval come from? in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

patriotic removes the approval penalty for how many planets you have in your empire. The more planets the more disapproval. If you're talking about your empire's overall approval I assume it moves up and down due to various planets' morale going up and down. So a few planets with 98 moral could bring down the 100%.

A ship design I just finished I like very much, but parts disappear when viewing the ship in space(not in designer/shipyard view). Does anyone have any ideas as to why? I created a video of the ship. First view is designer where you can see all the parts. Then the view is in space where the parts disappear. For third I tried moving the parts higher up since it appeared as if they might be too/taken out of the frame/view. Anyway here's the video of the ship:

Reply to How exactly do ship defenses work? in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

I believe beam weapons reduce shields by how much damage they do. Point defense destroys a missile for each point of point defense you have. A ship with 20 shields is hit by a beam weapon that does 4 dmg, the ship now has 16 shields. A ship with 20 pd with 10 missiles coming at it is reduced to 10 pd. I do not use armor since pd is so poor so I dunno about that.

Reply to Deleting Ship Templates in GalCiv III Support GalCiv3 Forums

I would like this as well as being able to delete parts grouped into a single saved part. I figured out, right now, the best way to avoid lots of templates is to periodically save my ship design as draft 1, 2, 3, etc., but not as a template. That way when I'm finally done then I can click the template button.

[quote who="CoffeeholicCielo" reply="1137" id="3555420"] It's pretty obvious, both of your parts have been connected to the center cube instead of each other. Because of this, both of those half-circles are separate parts and are in no way connected to each other. That translucent center start cube is ment for you to build your first piece and build off of that first piece not the cube itself unless you want to build several separate ships as one ship design.(

[/quote] Influence starbases provide 1 influence point for themselves. The assumption is that this single 1 influence point each turn would received the bonus, but there is no where I can find to indicate whether this bonus is applied to the 1 point of influence the starbase generates.

Click on the ship you do not want in your fleet and click eject in the fleet's window at the bottom left, when you've selected the fleet of course. This will move it out of the fleet in the same hex. To decommission a ship there is also a button in the same window if you have a ship selected. Click manage then decommission. You should be able to select the ship in the fleet and decommission it while its individually selected. To eject multiple ships hold ctrl and click each one. Then

Saving grouped parts/grouping parts not working in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

Ship template designing. Has anyone figured out why some parts group together and some don't? Or why some groupings are saved while others aren't? Or why only one part is saved when you group parts? Frustration.
